Manual Reference Pages - JFTPGW (1)

CONTENTS

This manual page documents the program
jftpgw which is an FTP proxy/gateway that uses the FTP protocol (unlike those FTP
proxies that fetch via FTP but provide the file via HTTP). You can use it to
make servers behind a firewall/NAT server (masquerading server) accessible
or to allow users behind such solutions to transfer files to and from the
outside of the LAN.

Start the small, built-in password creation. jftpgw will read your input
password, output a crypt()ed version of this password and exit.

-f, --configfile FILE

Read FILE instead of the default configfile (instead of the built-in
location)

-h, --help

Display a short help text.

-i, --inetd

Tell jftpgw that it is run from inetd. In this case it will not try to
become a daemon.

-s, --single

Run only a single thread of jftpgw (you wont need this option in the normal
use. Its nice for debugging, to trace the program or execute it within a
debugger).

-t, --tcpwrap

Use libwrap for access control. This will disable the "normal" access
control via the "access allow|deny" directives in the configuration file.
Make sure you have libwrap support compiled in (check with --version)

Please note that the 0.13.x version is the first one that has a different
configuration than the versions released previously. The new configuration
has a completely different (more flexible) configuration system and the
internal structure changed a lot.
